Free Music Notes for P.D.Q. Bach: Liebeslieder Polkas; Twelve Quite Heavenly Songs
Free Music Review: wit and joy
Hit: 5 Stars
i just wanted to bring the average up on this, my favorite schickele album. the polkas, robust and maniacally gleeful, give some very familiar texts the best setting i've ever heard, truer to the spirit of herrick, shakespeare, and jonson than any of the wan art-songs that feyly bungle the same words. the pun-saturated zodiac demonstrates that schickele is a truly gifted writer of comic verse, at times worthy of ogden nash. the music is irreverent and silly but not egregious, so listeners narrowmindedly expecting the usual p.d.q. bach travesties may well be disappointed at the accomplished, even virtuosic writing. schickele wears the guise of his alter ego very lightly here and thus shows more of himself than we usually get to see. we should be grateful.
